HONEST AS A HUEGENOT - Preachers Cabinet

 "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." Hebrews 11:10

—Huguenot ladies in times of persecution hid their small Bibles in their high dressed hair. When the sanctuary at New Rochelle was built they carried bricks in their hands and mortar in their aprons. They . were doers of the Word. "Honest as a Huguenot" was a proverb in those days. In their poverty they walked to church ten miles or more, barefooted; then, washing their feet at a spring in the lower part of New York, they would put on shoes as they drew near their humble sanctuary. Some slept in their wagons Saturday night, having come from remote districts to enjoy the privilege of Sabbath worship and hearing God's Word.
